Preparation time:
Cooking time:
Servings: 		10 minutes
2 minutes
2 bags of Freddo chocolate chips (either MILK 800 g or DARK 720 g) Note – a small fondue machine will require at least 2 bags in order for chocolate to circulate properly
1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil per bag of chocolate chips.

Place chocolate chips in top portion of double boiler. Put enough water in bottom portion of double boiler so that top portion touches water once placed on top.

Bring water to a light boil on medium heat. Place top portion containing chocolate on top. Stir chocolate continuously until completely melted. Do not over cook chocolate as it will become hard and grainy.

Once chocolate has melted, pour 1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil into the melted chocolate and stir in order to blend well. Pour chocolate/oil mixture into machine, slowly, small portion at a time. Repeat this procedure with second bag. If chocolate appears too thick, add just a little more oil to second batch of melted chocolate. The oil will facilitate circulation of chocolate in your machine.

If desired, the following can be added to your fondues:

  • a few drops of vanilla;
  • orange or coffee liqueur (for adults);

Have a selection of dippers, such as banana or mango slices, strawberries, orange or pear wedges. Italian biscotti or white angel cake cut into squares are also good. Marshmallows too!

Other dipper/coating ideas:
After having dipped fruit in chocolate, dip into bowls filled with:

  • sugar cake decorations;
  • dried fruit;
  • dried coconut flakes;
  • dried rice cereal;

Use plastic spoons for kids!
